Product Overview
Meiact 200mg cefditoren pivoxil tablets 20S — an oral third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic for respiratory tract, skin, and soft tissue bacterial infections.
Product Description
Meiact 200Mg Tab 20S contains cefditoren pivoxil 200mg, a third-generation oral cephalosporin antibiotic prodrug that is converted to active cefditoren in the intestinal wall following absorption. Cefditoren is a broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic that exerts bactericidal activity by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) and inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis in susceptible gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens. Cefditoren demonstrates particularly strong activity against the key respiratory pathogens responsible for community-acquired pneumonia, acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, and acute bacterial sinusitis, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis.
Meiact 200mg is indicated for the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia, acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), acute bacterial sinusitis, acute pharyngitis and tonsillitis, and uncomplicated skin and soft tissue infections in adults and adolescents. The prodrug formulation with pivoxil improves the oral bioavailability of cefditoren, enabling effective systemic antibacterial concentrations following oral dosing. The standard dosing is 200mg twice daily with meals, and the 20-tablet pack provides a 10-day treatment course — the standard duration for most respiratory tract infections. As with all cephalosporin antibiotics, cefditoren should only be used for confirmed or strongly suspected bacterial infections. Available on prescription only.
Key Benefits:
• Third-generation cephalosporin with strong activity against key respiratory pathogens
• Effective against community-acquired pneumonia, sinusitis, and respiratory exacerbations
• Prodrug formulation optimises oral bioavailability for effective systemic concentrations
• Broad coverage of gram-positive and gram-negative respiratory bacteria
• 20-tablet pack provides a complete 10-day treatment course
• Suitable alternative in patients with mild penicillin allergy or treatment failure
How to Use:
Take Meiact 200mg exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The usual adult dose is one 200mg tablet twice daily, taken with meals to optimise absorption and reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Complete the full prescribed course of antibiotics. Inform your doctor of any known penicillin or cephalosporin allergy before use. Available on prescription only.
Ideal For:
Adults and adolescents with bacterial respiratory tract infections including community-acquired pneumonia, acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, and uncomplicated skin infections requiring third-generation oral cephalosporin antibiotic therapy.
